And here I’m with yet another dessert featuring this decadent combination.

I was inspired by popular peanut butter chocolate cups. But since I don’t love peanut butter that much – I know I’m crazy, but hope we can still be friends – I filled mine with what I love most.

And to balance off all that sweetness, I sprinkled some sea salt flakes. I use this Maldon sea salt flakes, because it’s the best stuff! The combination is just perfection, I’m telling ya.

Tips for success

For this recipe, I highly recommend using good quality chocolate that you love eating on its own. Ghirardelli is one of two brands that I simply adore. (The other one is Lindt.) No, I’m not paid to tell you this. And you know, I’d have let you know right away, if I was.

Well, anyway, start with chocolate that you truly love. And for easy melting, chop them nice and fine. I usually follow the microwave instructions on the packaging. Mine says 1 minute at 50% power, then 30 seconds also at 50% power until fully melted, stirring at each round.

Also we’re mixing in a little bit of coconut oil into the chocolate, which helps to keep the chocolate smooth and soft. When I tried making this recipe without any oil, the chocolate hardened a bit too much and it was tricky to avoid white discoloration when chocolate sets. So a little bit of oil helped!

Hope you love these sweet and salty chocolate cups. And as always, thanks for reading!
